Try Reliable Automotive in Franklin. John and the guys there are awesome, and they've done a ton of work on my 4 cyl gas (4G64) L400. I just returned from a 3000+ mile road trip out west with no issues at all. Not sure how they are with diesels, but I couldn't recommend them more. They did cam seals, radiator, timing belt/water pump, rear main seal, and complete ac replacement. I had to source some of the harder to find parts, but they do excellent work.

Justin at Weld-Rite in Mount Pleasant. They only do diesel engines. Currently have my L300 in for a head gasket.
So... Went to reliable in Franklin. NOT IMPRESSED at all. Did an exhaust leak, fuel filter, oil change and supposedly a safety check which they're supposed to check everything. They CLEARLY did not. My partner has the Delica in Nashville, and I am in Portland, Oregon. Upon getting the Delica back, she now has several odd leaks that weren't there (coincidences happen) BUT... The air filter was never cracked open. Or if it was, they didn't even look at it. When I called them to ask if they could send paperwork on what they did, they said their computer won't generate for that vehicle. I asked about a regular paper checklist. He came back with the computer won't generate for that vehicle.
We'll not use them again. I am a mechanic. I don't trust them at all. If someone had good luck, then good for you. My partner is a woman who doesn't know better and she just has to take it. If you've gone to them, do you now have subsequent work needs done? Yeah, crooks at best IMHO. Liars.

Reliable automotive in Franklin Tennessee "fixed" the exhaust leak, pic below. My 25 year old nephew could have welded this better, and he's NEVER pickup up a torch. Maybe use oxy/acetylene instead of MIG? How about we do the crack too? Maybe fill all the crappy splatter weld holes??? How about a new exhaust pipe? If you claim to do exhaust, shouldn't you be capable of bending pipe?
2d pic is the NASTY air filter they "checked" "We checked everything" said John from reliable. No checklist, no paperwork, It doesn't look to me like they even looked cracked the case to peek.
I HIGHLY recommend staying far far away from these sheisters. Clearly their checklist is whatever they want to look at.
